o Cost of financing and meeting financial obligations incurred due to increased expenditures. The Coronavirus Relief Fund holds great potential to help stabilize tribal government economies. However, if Section 601(d) (“Use of Funds”) is interpreted too narrowly, it will result in significant unspent allocations Indian Country-wide – a great opportunity lost. The critical decisions that you will soon make relating to the CRF allocation and eligibility provisions must acknowledge and help alleviate the widespread job losses that Indian Country is incurring and will continue to incur due to the coronavirus. The coronavirus has triggered the worst unemployment crisis the history of our nation – and Indian Country is no
exception. Sincerely,
